RMI Storefront - CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

08-11-2003, 20:33
Welcome to the Remiesian Military Industries Storefront!

This is the sister store of the Remiesian Infantry Weapons Store (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67756), where you can find all the infantry gear you'll ever need.

The RMI storefront brings you the best designs we have to offer - we sell mostly real-life weapons and vehicles, but there are a few self-designed units in there, too.

We've decided to consolidate the old "Overlooked Weapons" thread for several reasons, and we've in fact dropped some of the products from that store. The things that made the cut have moved here, their new home.

Store policies:

1. We will not sell to terrorists or nations who have earned themselves a reputation of evil.
2. We will perform background/finance checks when the situation merits.
3. We reserve the right to deny any order for any reason.
4. Production rights are available.
5. Wait for confirmation of your order before wiring money - any order that violates this policy will be denied.

Vanguard CIWS
Remiesian Military Industries is pround to unveil the first in its upcoming line of self-designed weapons systems.

The MK 20 Vanguard CIWS was designed as a replacement for both the Phalanx and Goalkeeper Close-In Weapon Systems, which provide last-ditch point defense for ships aginst antiship missiles and enemy aircaft which have penetrated the primary defenses.

The Phalanx CIWS has a single 20mm Gatling gun, which antiship missiles have evolved over time to defeat - most modern Russian antiship missiles have armored warheads, allowing them to shrug off 20mm cannon fire. The Goalkeeper CIWS came with the 30mm cannon, but otherwise performed identically to the Phalanx.

The Vanguard might, at first sight, look like overkill. It is armed with a pair of GAU-8 Avenger 30mm cannons of A-10 Warthog fame and a pair of quad-tube FIM-92B Stinger missile launchers.

The 30mm Avenger cannons are a significant improvement over the Vulcan because of it's larger round, longer range (2000 m), and high rate of fire (4200 RPM).

These modified Avenger cannons fire APDs (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) rounds with depleted uranium or tungsten (user's choice) subcaliber penetrators, giving the Vanguard the ability to smash any incoming missile - both cannons are trained on the same target at once.

In addition to the twin 30mm cannons, the Vanguard mounts a pair of quad-tube, self-reloading Stinger SAMs. The Stinger was selected because of its small size and exceptional agility, but the version used on the Vanguard has been modified. Normally, it is slaved to the radar system, taking its telemetry data from the Vanguard, but, should the weapons system need to engage multiple targets, the Stinger's own IR seeker wil take over. Regardless, the Stinger is always given the basic data on the target just before it is launched.

Vanguard will always attempt to engage with missiles first, launching one Stinger at the target. If that fails to destroy the missile, the twin Avengers will be used.

Vanguard's eyes and ears come in the form of Pulse-Doppler search radar with a 25km range (large antenna) and a smaller tracking radar. The search radar will identify targets with plenty of time to spare, and when the target comes within 5km of the ship, the search radar will "hand off" the target to the tracking radar. It is then the responsibility of the track radar to employ the appropriate weapons - the search radar may then continue hunting for other targets, prioritizing by proximity to the ship.

The Vanguard system, in tests, proved its worth by shooting down four incoming Harpoon AS missiles, downing the last one at a rage of 1325 meters from the test ship.

M18 MacArthur
Remiesian Military Industries is proud to announce its first entry into the armored vehicle market - the M18 MacArthur

Recent conflicts have pointed out obvious shortcomings in the design of the M1 Abrams line of tanks. Some of the biggest complaints against the Abrams were its gas-guzzling turbine engine, the extraordinary amount of heat created at the rear of the tank, and its weakness in fighting against infantrymen.

We have decided that rather than designing a new tank from the ground up, we would combine the best attributes of existing tanks and create a hybrid vehicle which fills the void left by the Abrams - so the M18 was born.

The M18 immediately appears to be an M1 Abrams due to the shape of the turret - that's only half-right. The turret is in fact taken directly from the M1A2 Abrams tank, but it is mounted atop the chassis of the M60A3 Patton tank - its predecessor.

Why combine the two? The Abrams is renowned for its high-tech targeting and fire-control systems and its efficient 120mm cannon. The Patton was liked for its diesel engine and lighter weight. We put the two together and we have a tank with a diesel engine and the firepower of the Abrams. The Patton's chassis does get a power boost in the form of a 1200hp engine rather than the old 750hp version.

Some notiable additions include the Abrams-style armor skirting along the treads and Abrams-style transmission/suspension.

The M18's armor is made of the same material as the M1, but it boasts 1500mm of protection, which will make it more survivable than the old M60. Also included is NERA (nonexplosive reactive armor - offers great protection against shaped charge rounds and good protection against kinetic rounds*)

To better combat infantry, the coaxial M240 machinegun has been replaced with an M134 7.62mm minigun which will make short work of enemy troops. When turned out, the commander can operate a Mk19 automatic grenade launcher while the loader mans an M2 .50 caliber heavy machinegun.

One thing needs to be clear - this hybrid tank won't go toe-to-toe with a Leopard or an upgraded T-80, but it will augment your MBT force and provide you with an upgraded ability to fight in conjunction with friendly infantry.

M-7 Powell
M7 Powell

The M7 Powell tank is essentially a heavily modified M2 Bradley chassis. The M2 Bradley APC is a sort of hybrid APC/tank destroyer, and RMI has transformed it into something totally different.

The Powell is about a meter shorter and narrower than the M2, and there is no cargo space. This allows two other important modifications to be made - the armor is thicker and the turret is centered on the hull.

Also done away with are the TOW missiles which were prone to detonating when a Bradley APC was hit. The box launcher which fired them has been made a fixed part of the turret on both sides and instead house an M134 minigun and a Mk19 grenade launcher. These weapons were added on the suggestions of tank crewmen in an effort to increase the tank's survivability against infantry and in urban environments.

Armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun, the Powell is a potent tank-killer. Its coaxial weapon is an M2 .50 caliber heavy machinegun, which offers much better range and firepower than the M240 - the Browning enables the gunner to "reach out and touch someone" at over 1500m.

Lighter and faster than the Arbrams, the Powell is a fine choice to fill the role of a support tank in airborne or cavalry units, where the Abrams or a similar MBT is present but speed and additional firepower are needed.

The Bradley was praised for its ability to keep up with the Abrams, but the Powell is praised for its ability to lead it - figuratively and literally. The Powell is also adept at armed recon or scout missions where firepower is needed and a Stryker of Humvee just isn't enough.

:arrow: M163A2 Vulcan - Improved Vulcan

The M163 Vulcan is a very cheap mobile antiaircraft weapon. It is essentially an M113 APC with the cargo capacity removed and instead mounted with a 6-barreled 20mm Vulcan cannon similar to the M61 used in aircraft. In the mid-1980s, the US Army retired its Vulcans on the basis that advances in long-range antitank missiles fired from Soviet helicopters would make it useless.

We have slightly modified the Vulcan to give it better "eyes and ears". It's fire-control system has been significantly upgraded from a range-only radar to a more advanced radar with a range of about 5 miles, capable of locking on to its target and slaving the gun to it while continuing to track 5 other targets. It also features an IR night sight to aid in optical tracking at night. However, during the day and in good weather, the weapon is normally targeted optically. The range has also been boosted to slightly over 1 mile. Due to all of these upgrades, the accuracy and stability of the unit has increased greatly over the M163A1.

Obviously, with the advent of the Avenger, Linebacker, and HUMRAAM systems, demand for this unit may be limited, but it forms a solid last line of defense for mechanized units. The Vulcan does not *require* an electronic lock like the other three systems, and thus the ability to "point and shoot" could prove crucial if enemy aircraft suddenly appeared.

:arrow: M113A3 "Wildcat"

This APC is an M113A3 vehicle fitted with a 25mm chain gun similar to the Bushmaster cannon found on the M2 Bradley. It is still a thin-skinned APC whose primary mission is to move troops - the cannon affords it more anti-infantry protection than a .50 caliber MG.

The two-man turret features the 25mm Oerlikon cannon with a rate of fire of 600 RPM and a 7.62mm coax machinegun. The turret is also fitted with a Ziess thermal sight.

Add-on armor is also featured on the Wildcat and can stop 14.5 mm rounds from as close as 100m, a significant improvement over the old M113. It can carry 8 fully loaded troops.

This vehicle makes a good second-string airmobile APC or a primary for nations that can't afford the M2A2 Bradley. (The Wildcat is manufactured by the Danish Army IRL.)

:arrow: M113A3 ADATS

A much cheaper alternative to the M109 ADATS, this Canadian-designed system can engage both land and air targets with guided missiles. The ADATS missile is a specially-designed dual-purpose weapon with a range of 10km, a top speed of Mach 3, and the capability to penetrate over 900mm of armor.

The ADATS uses an X-band pulse-Doppler radar system, mounted atop the large turret, which, in TWS (track while search) mode can sort and prioritize 20 different targets. The radar's range is 25km, so targets are identified long before they come into weapons range. The FLIR seeker head mounted between the twin quadruple launchers is the same as the FLIR sight on the AH-64 Apache and it has a laser rangefinder, TV optics, and of course IR seekers.

The upgraded M113A3 chassis has been used for the ADATS, but the weight of the 8 missiles, radar, and seeker gear detracts from its speed. The M113A3 ADATS is a good choice for nations either unable or unwilling to buy the same weapon on a more expensive M109 chassis.

:arrow: AAV7A1 Marine APC

This APC is the mainstay of the USMC's APC fleet, having been in service since the early 1980's. It can carry 21 fully loaded Marines ashore from a Wasp-class assault ship, unload them on the beach, and continue to operate alongside them indefinitely. Its cargo capacity, good speed, and fairly potent armament make this (in our opinion anyway) a must-have iteam for any MEU. Can be fitted with a mine clearing system for use on hostile beaches. Comes with smoke dischargers mounted on the turret.

:arrow: M-8 Ridgeway Armored Gun System

Named after WW2 General Matthew Ridgeway of the 82nd Airborne Division, the M-8 was a US Army experimental design that never saw production. Do not be fooled by its appearance - it's not a tank. The M-8 is similar to the M551 Sheridan, the vehicle it was intended to replace, in many ways. The purpose of this AGS is to provide an air-droppable "light tank" for airborne forces. Once on the ground, the M-8 functions as a support weapon for the paratroopers - it engages bunkers, light vehicles, infantry and fortifications with its Rhinemetall 105mm cannon. It cannot stand toe to toe against modern tanks; its armor is simply too thin.

The M-8's titanium armor is fully customizable and comes in three easily added levels: Level 1 protects against shrapnel, Level 2 protects against direct fire from small arms and small cannon fire, and Level 3 protects against anything up to a 30mm cannon/chain gun (such as that mounted on an Apache). Level 3 armor is a significant improvement over the Sheridan, the standard armor of which could be pierced by .50 caliber machine gun fire.

The M-8 can also be fitted with Reactive Armor, but it then loses the ability to be air-dropped.

The low-recoil 105mm direct-fire gun uses an autoloader and features a digital day/night/thermal fire control system with a laser rangefinder similar to that of the M1A2 Abrams. It also features an NBC overpressure system and fire suppression systems. The turret is stabilized so shooting on the move is easy.

A C-130 can hold one M-8, a C-141 two, a C-17 three, and a C-5 can hold five AGSs.

The M-8 program was cancelled in 1996 not because it was a failure, but because of cutbacks in the Army budget.

:arrow: Stryker IAV - Designated by Remiesia as the M-5.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/budget/fy2001/dot-e/images/01iav.jpg

The Stryker IAV (Interim Armored Vehicle) is a new design recently selected to fill the role of the USMC’s LAV-25 for the US Army. The similarities between the two vehicles is striking – they look pretty much the same, but they *are* two different vehicles.

The Stryker is intended to perform many roles for the Army’s light infantry and airborne units – it can be used as an APC, a Command vehicle, a mobile gun platform, a fire support vehicle, a Medevac vehicle, a mortar carrier, an engineer vehicle, an ATGM platform, or a recon vehicle.

Despite it being a thin-skinned vehicle, it is impervious to rounds up to 14.5mm (over 50 caliber) and RPG-7 projectiles. Obviously its key assets, however, are its speed and mobility, allowing it to function as a sort of fast attack vehicle. The plethora of weapons that it can mount are all mounted in remotely operated power turrets on top of the hull. The crew of two (driver, commander/gunner) is provided with periscopes, and IR and night-vision equipment in addition to full-color video cameras so they may stay “buttoned up” at all times if need be. It is also much quieter than tracked vehicles so it can take on a recon role as well.

The Remiesian military is exporting the following models:

M-5A1 Stryker APC – holds 9 infantry men, stores extra ammo for them, and has a remotely-operated turret on the roof which can be mounted with an M240 7.62mm MG, an M2 .50 caliber MG, or a Mk19 40mm grenade launcher – $1.5 million

http://www-cgsc.army.mil/milrev/english/MayJun02/graphic/dunn/dun2.jpg
M-5A2 Stryker Mobile Gun System – similar in theory to the M8, this Stryker loses its cargo capacity and instead mounts a remotely-operated M68A1 105mm cannon – $1.75 million

M-5A3 Stryker Fire Support Vehicle – Sacrifices infantry cargo capacity for a dual-tube TOW2B launcher in a remotely operated turret. – $1.9 million

M-5A4 Stryker ATGM Carrier – instead of a TOW2B, this vehicles mounts the M98A1 Javelin missile system. – $1.8 million

:arrow: ZSU 23x4 Shilka

This is the Russian equivalent of the M163 Vulcan - some would argue that the Shilka is the better weapon, and it does fire a slightly larger round.

Its purpose is to shoot down helicopters and aircraft, defending armored vehicles like tanks from units that would destroy them. It has a relatively short range, but packs a good deal of firepower.

The Shilka, like the Vulcan, is lighty armored and should serve only in the AA role, though the cannons can rip advancing infantry to shreds.

:arrow: F-15E Strike Eagle

The F-15E Strike Eagle is the premier dedicated striker in the American inventory - and for good reasons. The aircraft is based off the F-15 Eagle frame, with a second seat, improved electronics, and conformal fuel tanks added.

The Strike Eagle is an all-weather day/night attack jet, able to complete those missions thanks to an advanced APG-70 multirole radar and a LANTIRN IR navigation and targeting pod located underneath the aircraft. A terrain-following radar allows the pilot to keep the aircraft down on the deck where it stands the best chance of penetrating enemy airspace. Strike Eagles prefer to slip underneath radar and SAM coverage when they can.

LANTIRN also gives the Strike Eagle the ability to carry a plethora of laser-guided weapons, and when a ground target it locked with LANTIRN, the information is handed off to weapons like the Maverick or LGBs. In the rear seat, a totally digitized cockpit allows the weapons systems officer to detect, classify, track and engage air and ground targets while at the same time using a sophisitcated ECM suite to defend his own aircraft.

The two conformal fuel tanks, each holding 750 gallons of fuel, are more or less molded to the edges of the engine intake, a "dead space" in earlier F-15 models. Whereas the F-15C has squared-off intakes, the F-15E looks more rounded. These low-drag tanks extend its range dramatically. Plus, as it is an F-15, it boasts very powerful engines and good maneuverability for a plane it's size. Unloaded, the aircraft can accelerate in a vertical climb.

The Eagle effectively fills the role vacated by the retirement of the FB-111 Aardvark and offers the owner nation long-range strike fighter that is equally adept at engaging enemy aircraft as it is at bombing enemy ground targets. Its lineage traces back to a pure fighter, and the Strike Eagle retains those fighter qualities.

All Strike Eagles are painted grey to reduce the chances of being visually detected at low altitudes or in bad weather.

:arrow: S-3B Viking ASW

The S-3B Viking is a multirole aircraft used by the US Navy. Its missions inlude antisubmarine warfare, electronic surveillence, mine warfare, and aerial refueling. Primarily it defends the carrier fleet from hostile submarines by searching for them and then destroying them.

Inside the fuselage, an impressive electronic package is dedicated to the collection and interperetation of acoustic signals - the Viking has a sonobouy dispenser located in the ventral part of the tail. It also houses an advanced ECM system, a GPS navigation computer, and a JTIDS electronic information-sharing computer. A retractable MAD boom, used for detecting the magnetic fields caused by submarine hulls, is stored in the tail. Most of it weapons are stored in an internal bay.

The Viking is noted for its use as an ASW aircraft but it also has anti-ship capabilities - it can carry several Harpoon missiles or conventional bombs. Its long range electro-optical/IR sensors make it a potent threat, regardless of weather, time of day, or target.

:arrow: F-4G Phantom - Wild Weasel

This version of the venerable F-4 Phantom is the last version ever fielded - its mission was to hunt down and destroy enemy SAM sites. Foregoing a cannon for more electronics and ECM gear, the Phantom packs a more powerful punch than the F-16, which took over the Wild Weasel role. The F-4 is capable of carrying thousands of pounds more ordanance and delivering it on target.

This plane is manned by a crew of two - a pilot in the front seat and a radar operator/weapons system officer in the back seat. The WSO is responsible for locating targets and using an arsenal of HARM, Shrike, or Maverick guided missiles to destroy them. Cluster bombs can also be carried to take out missile batteries.

Wild Weasels are best used at the spearhead of an air group - they locate and destroy targets just before the rest of the group enters the area. This way the SAMs can be destroyed and the Wild Weasels have some degree of protection from enemy aircraft. Ideally the F-4Gs ingress "on the deck" and then pop up to engage their targets - they were incredibly effective at this in the Persian Gulf War.

:arrow: T-38 Talon Advanced Trainer

In use by the US Air Force since 1961, this supersonic jet trainer is based on the F-5 Tiger airframe. It holds an instructor and a student, both with identical cockpits. The aircraft is very agile and is a fine training platform for future combat pilots. No air force is complete without at least a few of these.

The Talon is sometimes used as a chase plane for test flights of new aircraft, though it primarily teaches new fighter pilots the skills of supersonic techniques, aerobatics, formation, night and instrument flying and cross-country navigation.

The Talon is in-flight refuling capable and needs only 2,300 feet of runway to take off. It can climb to 30,000 feet in less than a minute.

:arrow: OV-10D Bronco

In an age of jets and missiles, most people don't see the need for a prop aircraft but the OV-10D is an extremely versatile observation and CAS aircraft for use by Marines. In addition to CAS missions, it also serves as a FAC platform and performs general recon/observation missions.

The Bronco is an easy to fly and very dependable aircraft, well liked by its pilots. It has a crew of two, a pilot and gunner/observer who sit in tandem in a high-visibility cockpit. A good deal of ordanance can be slung under the wings, and it can even hold 5 paratroopers with the gunner's seat removed. It is a STOL aircraft and can be operated from undeveloped front-line airstrips if necessary.

:arrow: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a modified Bell 206 airframe. The Kiowa serves as a scout and observation helicopter for air cavalry units in the US Army, though it has the ability to carry limited numbers of powerful weapons, enabling it to double as a light fire-support platform.

It is not armored like a gunship and using it as one would be wasteful. The Kiowa’s strengths lie in its agility and its MMS, which enables it to stay behind obstacles and still observe the battlefield beyond it. One of the missions the Kiowa fills is finding and designating targets for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter – this hunter/killer team increases efficiency greatly.

If need be, the Kiowa can have its stub wings removed and replaced with benches for 6 infantrymen (similar to those found on the MH-6 Little Bird), or 4 litters for medical evacuation. This helicopter is extremely useful to a company or battalion commander and makes a solid addition to any Army.

NEW! AH-6 Littlebird
Quite possibly one of the most overlooked weapons EVER, the AH-6 plays a vital role in US Special Forces operations. The airframe is a civillian MD500 or Oh-6 observation chopper which has been armed, making it a potent little gunship.

The Littlebird is so small and so nimble that it's your best option for urban special forces gunship support - it can go places where no other chopper can, like flying down alleyways and landing on city roads. It has a crew of two and sacrafices cargo capacity for an impressive arsenal: a typical Littlebird load consists of two M134 7.62mm miniguns and a pair of 7-shot FFAR pods under the stub wings. It can carry, however, quite a variety of other weapons, including TOW, Hellfire, or Stinger missiles, .50 caliber machinegun pods, or Mk19 40mm grenade machineguns.

Its electronics include GPS gear,a 16x magnification FLIR infrared system, IR suppressors for the engines, chaff/flare dispensers, a laser rangefinder, and an optional mast-mounted sight. All these features make the Littlebird a very effective all-weather day/night light gunship.

When not supporting special operations missions, the Littlebirds can be used as armed scouts.

:arrow: AH-1Z Cobra - Marine Attack Helicopter

No, we’re not making this up. The AH-1Z is the sister upgrade of the UH-1N-4BN (it is also called the AH-1-4BW). The 4BW program is designed to give one final upgrade to the aging Cobra, which does a number of things to the aircraft. First, it upgrades all the electronics and avionics, installing all-glass MFDs in both front and rear cockpits. Second, it adds a new 4-bladed composite rotor and new engine system, which is common to both the AH-1Z and the UH-1N-4BN, which offers tremendous increases in performance and contributes to ease of maintenance.

Bell Helicopters (RL manufacturer and where we got the plans) boasts that the AH-1Z is equipped with the most sophisticated countermeasures suites ever fielded on an attack chopper, including the AVR-2A Laser Warning Receiver, APR-39A(v) 2 Radar Warning Receiver, ALE-47 “Smart” Countermeasures Dispenser, and AAR-47 Missile Warning Device. Self-sealing fuel tanks, energy-absorbent seats, and measures to keep major systems in place in the event of a crash have also been implemented.

A passive third generation FLIR system give the AH-1Z the best “eyes” of any helicopter in the world. This system works in day and night and is capable of tracking multiple targets simultaneously outside of weapons range. A new Helmet-Mounted Sight similar to that of the AH-64 Apache has also been installed. Both cockpits are identical and have been fitted with HOTAS systems so that the crew can perform a variety of tasks without having to take their hands off the cyclic and collective. The boost in aircrew situational awareness and the decrease in workload are incredible.

:arrow: UH-1N "4BN"

The UH-1N has the standard light utility helicopter of the USMC for many years now, and the "4BN" program in tandem with the AH-1W "4BW" program seeks to lengthen its length of service....again.

The 4BN program takes the twin-engined UH-1N and upgrades the power plant, also adding two more rotor blades ("4BN" stands for "Four-Blade November). The performance increase gained is amazing, and it contributes to reliability and ease of maintainance as well.

The UH-1 has been relegated to Marine troop transport over the last few decades, but it does not lose its ability to carry weapons - including M134 miniguns and unguided rockets. The 4BN upgrades also modernize the electronics and add an IR suppressor to the tailboom, offering additional protection from heat-seeking missiles. Chaff dispensers and RWR gear are also added.

Until the V-22 Osprey proves its worth, the Huey will likely remain a solid choice for the Marine transport/utility role. The USMC also hopes to make the UH-1N-4BN its platform of choice for covert operations insertion.

:arrow: CH-46 Sea Knight
The USMC's current medium-lift helicopter. It is designed for all-weather day/night troop transport and cargo missions, and is often used as the Vertical Replenishment platform for US Navy ships at sea.

The Sea Knight's age is catching up with it in the RL fleet, but this is NS, so our airframes are in much better condition. Intentions are that the Osprey will replace this aircraft as well, but with the hangups in the Osprey program it is unlikely that this will occur for at least a fw more years.

:arrow: CH-54 Tarhe ("Skycrane")

This strange-looking chopper is truly the only heavy-lift helicopter the US Army has, despite it getting bumped aside by the CH-47 Chinook. The Skycrane is capable of lifting the loads that the Chinook can't, including downed aircraft and a "Daisy Cutter" 10,000 pound bomb.

It's not fast, it's not armed, and it's not well-armored but it can take up to ten tons of cargo. In addition to raw cargo, it has optional "pods" which can be attached underneath the chopper. The "people pod" can carry up to 45 combat-ready soldiers. The MASH pod carries an air conditioned and well-lit mobile operating room, which it can deploy with ease. The Medevac pod can take a good number of litters, and there is even a maintainance pod, which carries mechanics and all their toys.

The Chinook bumped the Tarhe aside because of it's speed, size, and good "general transport" abilities, but the Tarhe remains far better suited for heavy-lifting. In Vietnam, the Tarhe saved Uncle Sam $210 million dollars by winching and lifting crashed or shot-down aircraft out of hard-to-reach places.

:arrow: Hamilton-class Cutter

The Hamilton class of high-endurance cutter is a vessel for those nations that need a good-sized costal patrol boat but do not want to spend the cash for a military-grade vessel. The Hamilton, first commisioned in late 1965, fills this role.

The crew accomodations are comfortable and even air-conditioned; as a result the cutter handles its crew of 167 with ease. Its twin gas turbine engines coupled with controllable pitch propellors and bow jets serve to make the Hamilton class cutters agile and relatively speedy. Making 17 knots, the ship can travel up to 9,600 miles without refueling.

Its fairly light armament is augmented by the helicopter flight deck at the stern of the ship - the deck and its hangar can handle armed naval helicopters as well as simpler patrol helicopters. The Hamilton also carries several RIBs for the use of the crew in interdiction and boarding missions. Its up-to date electronics and communications gear allow it to operate seamlessly with any US Navy (or your navy) ships.

All in all, not a bad aquisition for your Coast Guard or other law enforcement needs, and in a pinch it can be pressed into service as a warship.

:arrow: Mark II PBR (Patrol Boat, River)

The Mark II PBR was powered by water jets. It had no propeller, therefore it could operate in as little as 12 inches of water. The PBR accelerated quickly and stopped even faster – it could go from full speed to full stop within 2 boat lengths. It is extremely maneuverable and is able to navigate tight waterways with ease. On the mast above the PBR is a short-range search radar which gives the PBR a nighttime and bad-weather capability. Obviously the crew could use personal NVGs for night operations as well.

Its missions included SEAL insertion, supply interdiction, routine patrols, and fire support for ground troops. Any nation with lots of water to patrol could find quite a bit of use in this pint-sized craft.

We put out a call for this next item and nobody seems to sell it...so here it is!

:arrow: Patriot SAM – PAC-2 and PAC-3

The Patriot missile is America’s latest-generation SAM capable of engaging enemy missiles and aircraft. It employs a phased-array radar similar to that of the AEGIS system which sends out a beam at a different location in the sky every few milliseconds. There are no moving parts in the radar and it is extremely difficult to jam. The battery consists of an Engagement Control Station (where the operators are), the phased-array radar, and six to eight launchers which can be as far away from the ECS and radar as 1 km.

Patriot ECSs and radars can digitally interface with the MIM-23 Hawk missile and AWACS aircraft. The launchers are typically emplaced, but they are transported via HEMITT vehicle and can be fired while attached to it. This enables the Patriot to achieve some degree of mobility, but note that the ECS and radar must be set up in order for the missiles to fire.

The missiles themselves are relatively small and reach supersonic speeds after traveling as little as 20 feet from the launcher – the missile’s top speed is Mach 5. There are two versions of the Patriot – the PAC-2, which functions as a normal SAM, exploding in proximity to the target; and the PAC-3, which is smaller, lighter, and physically hits its target. The PAC-2 is an effective antiaircraft missile for long ranges, while the PAC-3 is more suited to intercepting other missiles at shorter range.

In order for the Patriot to be truly effective in the battlefield, all forces need to maintain good communications and coordination to prevent friendly-fire incidents, by far the biggest complaint against the Patriot.

Speaking of Frigates, we need a navy.


*Ahem* This is Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st TOR Legion, Bart G. Farkas. As our Supreme Overseer has just rushed off to begin plans for our Navy, I have taken the liberty of placing our order for 300 of these wonderful units. The total should be $450,000,000.

Oh, and that other gentlemen seems to be off in his math. His total, unless he's being unnecessarily generous, should be a mere $150,000,000. I don't believe he could afford $450,000,000 at his stage of nation development.


Anyway, money will be sent upon confirmation. Good day, gentlemen.

EDIT: you miscalculated. The total is 150 million, which you can afford, but we think it's a bit unneccesary for a nation your size.

How big is your navy? As I said before, generally a cruiser, destroyer, or frigate mounts 2 CIWSs and a carrier mounts 4. 100 Vanguards would imply that you have a sizeable navy...

As for other stuff, we just added the MacArthur and we're working on a Bradley-based light tank.

With the addition of our second self-designed item, we find it necessary to open this thread up into a full-fledged storefront for RMI designs.

Vanguard CIWS
Remiesian Military Industries is pround to unveil the first in its upcoming line of self-designed weapons systems.

The MK 20 Vanguard CIWS was designed as a replacement for both the Phalanx and Goalkeeper Close-In Weapon Systems, which provide last-ditch point defense for ships aginst antiship missiles and enemy aircaft which have penetrated the primary defenses.

The Phalanx CIWS has a single 20mm Gatling gun, which antiship missiles have evolved over time to defeat - most modern Russian antiship missiles have armored warheads, allowing them to shrug off 20mm cannon fire. The Goalkeeper CIWS came with the 30mm cannon, but otherwise performed identically to the Phalanx.

The Vanguard might, at first sight, look like overkill. It is armed with a pair of GAU-8 Avenger 30mm cannons of A-10 Warthog fame and a pair of quad-tube FIM-92B Stinger missile launchers.

The 30mm Avenger cannons are a significant improvement over the Vulcan because of it's larger round, longer range (2000 m), and high rate of fire (4200 RPM).

These modified Avenger cannons fire APDs (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) rounds with depleted uranium or tungsten (user's choice) subcaliber penetrators, giving the Vanguard the ability to smash any incoming missile - both cannons are trained on the same target at once.

In addition to the twin 30mm cannons, the Vanguard mounts a pair of quad-tube, self-reloading Stinger SAMs. The Stinger was selected because of its small size and exceptional agility, but the version used on the Vanguard has been modified. Normally, it is slaved to the radar system, taking its telemetry data from the Vanguard, but, should the weapons system need to engage multiple targets, the Stinger's own IR seeker wil take over. Regardless, the Stinger is always given the basic data on the target just before it is launched.

Vanguard will always attempt to engage with missiles first, launching one Stinger at the target. If that fails to destroy the missile, the twin Avengers will be used.

Vanguard's eyes and ears come in the form of Pulse-Doppler search radar with a 25km range (large antenna) and a smaller tracking radar. The search radar will identify targets with plenty of time to spare, and when the target comes within 5km of the ship, the search radar will "hand off" the target to the tracking radar. It is then the responsibility of the track radar to employ the appropriate weapons - the search radar may then continue hunting for other targets, prioritizing by proximity to the ship.

The Vanguard system, in tests, proved its worth by shooting down four incoming Harpoon AS missiles, downing the last one at a rage of 1325 meters from the test ship.

********************************

M18 MacArthur
Remiesian Military Industries is proud to announce its first entry into the armored vehicle market - the M18 MacArthur

Recent conflicts have pointed out obvious shortcomings in the design of the M1 Abrams line of tanks. Some of the biggest complaints against the Abrams were its gas-guzzling turbine engine, the extraordinary amount of heat created at the rear of the tank, and its weakness in fighting against infantrymen.

We have decided that rather than designing a new tank from the ground up, we would combine the best attributes of existing tanks and create a hybrid vehicle which fills the void left by the Abrams - so the M18 was born.

The M18 immediately appears to be an M1 Abrams due to the shape of the turret - that's only half-right. The turret is in fact taken directly from the M1A2 Abrams tank, but it is mounted atop the chassis of the M60A3 Patton tank - its predecessor.

Why combine the two? The Abrams is renowned for its high-tech targeting and fire-control systems and its efficient 120mm cannon. The Patton was liked for its diesel engine and lighter weight. We put the two together and we have a tank with a diesel engine and the firepower of the Abrams. The Patton's chassis does get a power boost in the form of a 1200hp engine rather than the old 750hp version.

Some notiable additions include the Abrams-style armor skirting along the treads and Abrams-style transmission/suspension.

The M18's armor is made of the same material as the M1, but it boasts 1500mm of protection, which will make it more survivable than the old M60. Also included is NERA (nonexplosive reactive armor - offers great protection against shaped charge rounds and good protection against kinetic rounds*)

To better combat infantry, the coaxial M240 machinegun has been replaced with an M134 7.62mm minigun which will make short work of enemy troops. When turned out, the commander can operate a Mk19 automatic grenade launcher while the loader mans an M2 .50 caliber heavy machinegun.

One thing needs to be clear - this hybrid tank won't go toe-to-toe with a Leopard or an upgraded T-80, but it will augment your MBT force and provide you with an upgraded ability to fight in conjunction with friendly infantry.

M-7 Powell
M7 Powell

The M7 Powell tank is essentially a heavily modified M2 Bradley chassis. The M2 Bradley APC is a sort of hybrid APC/tank destroyer, and RMI has transformed it into something totally different.

The Powell is about a meter shorter and narrower than the M2, and there is no cargo space. This allows two other important modifications to be made - the armor is thicker and the turret is centered on the hull.

Also done away with are the TOW missiles which were prone to detonating when a Bradley APC was hit. The box launcher which fired them has been made a fixed part of the turret on both sides and instead house an M134 minigun and a Mk19 grenade launcher. These weapons were added on the suggestions of tank crewmen in an effort to increase the tank's survivability against infantry and in urban environments.

Armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun, the Powell is a potent tank-killer. Its coaxial weapon is an M2 .50 caliber heavy machinegun, which offers much better range and firepower than the M240 - the Browning enables the gunner to "reach out and touch someone" at over 1500m.

Lighter and faster than the Arbrams, the Powell is a fine choice to fill the role of a support tank in airborne or cavalry units, where the Abrams or a similar MBT is present but speed and additional firepower are needed.

The Bradley was praised for its ability to keep up with the Abrams, but the Powell is praised for its ability to lead it - figuratively and literally. The Powell is also adept at armed recon or scout missions where firepower is needed and a Stryker of Humvee just isn't enough.

Kihameria - order confirmed for $150 million. Delivery in 2 RL hours.


Alibakkar - No, now that I look at it, that weight still isn't right. The turret, cannon, armor, and ammo should make it heavier than that. I'll have to change it. As for the gun pods, the weapon barrels are slightly flexible (up/down only), but essentially they work like a coaxial weapon - point the turret and pull the triggers. Technically they are remotely controlled, but the ammo feeds are continuous, like an aircraft's cannon.


Amero-Operosa - subtotal = $954,750,000. Add 10% discount -> $859,275,000. Add ERA (not included normally) -> $875,275,000

OOC: Yeah that's what I thought....of course the Army classified all the armor numbers for current vehicles so I can't check, but I've heard the Abrams has something like 1800mm protection on it.

Since a lot of vehicles use composites and such, I doubt it's actually that thick.

IC: Of course - and don't worry about money. We both have bigger problems to deal with at the moment.

OOC: Yeah that's what I thought....of course the Army classified all the armor numbers for current vehicles so I can't check, but I've heard the Abrams has something like 1800mm protection on it.
OOC: True, normally the said number is much smaller than the actual one. In the Gulf war, one M1A1 was hit by 3-4 Sabot rounds and was in perfect condition --- until something like the 5th one fired by another Abram, and it only blew up the ammo storage.

IC: Of course - and don't worry about money. We both have bigger problems to deal with at the moment.

Very well. But still, we will wire $600 million for them right now. Thank you.

OOC: Ya, I have data sheets from Kraus-Maffei and the Reichswehr on German weapons, they have everything but armor and equivalency (classified). Don't you just love Chobham?

Greetings!

The Dominion of Hamstermums would like you to consider selling us
200 ADATS Vehicles.

Reason for this ammount is that until now we have been a rather peaceful nation, at least considering issues outside our borders, but recent events have made us realize how vulnerable we are against air.

These ADATS would provide us with the optimal anti-air defense we need. Fast, cheap and effective.
We cannot, however, find information about the number of crew required to operate these vehicles.

If you agree to sell these to the Dominion, please send a telegram containing crew-information, and deliveryplan.


200 * $1.75 million
350 Million

Money will be sent as soon as confirmation is recieved.

Stormblod, Father of the Dominion


Just noticed that the store is closed.
We would be pleased to recieve an answer after your issues have been dealt with. We eagerly await the answer.
